[DXBase] Doesn't like Callsign

[Jack]

Ray,

Is there more to this than what you've told me?  In my version of DXbase
2002, I cannot log this callsign to start with because DXbase does not
automatically select the country prefix.  It doesn't know about the /D.
Therefore the prefix field is blank and I get an error that the CQ zone
field is blank.  I guess you could have forced it into the database by
filling in the missing fields it complained about, but I don't really know
how you got it logged in the first place.

In any case, the error means that you have a QSO record with a prefix field
containing a single D.  And, this D is not a valid prefix in the statistics
table ( as it shouldn't be ).  The cure is to delete that QSO and reenter
it.  In the prefix field, select the correct prefix, zones, etc... You may
want to just add a callsign mapping record for this call first so that when
you log the QSO, DXbase will automatically recognize what it is.

Regards,
Sandy
